Lu Yang chewed over it for ages, completely at a loss on how to judge this method that challenged moral ethics and thought patterns.

“It’s good that the matter was resolved.”

This was all he managed to blurt out after a long pondering.

Uncle Ba also thought resolving the situation was a good thing, not to mention that the method was his own idea in the first place.

Uncle Ba patted Lu Yang’s shoulder: “The Little Medicinal Kings are all quite mischievous. You’ve had a tough time these days, show me your jade pendant.”

Lu Yang did as he was asked, and Uncle Ba tapped on his jade pendant: “The three hundred contribution points from the task reward are now in your pendant.”

Effort yields rewards, hard work was not in vain. Three hundred contribution points were a fortune for Lu Yang.

Then Lu Yang thought, three hundred contribution points seemed a lot, but it seemed that it couldn’t even afford the foot bath water of the Little Medicinal Kings.

The exchange list clearly stated that the Medicine King Spirit Liquid comes in both regular and luxury editions.

According to Lu Yang’s understanding, the regular version was the Little Medicinal Kings’ foot bath water, and the luxury version was the bath water.

“Say your goodbyes to the Little Medicinal Kings. Chances to enter the medicinal garden are rare, you probably won’t have the chance to come back in the future…”

Uncle Ba’s words trailed off in the middle, as he suddenly remembered that as long as Yun Zhi allowed Lu Yang to come, he had to obediently let him pass without the guts to block him.

“Ahem, anyhow, go say your farewells.”

Lu Yang merely responded with an “oh”, feeling like Uncle Ba had left something unsaid.

Knowing that Lu Yang was leaving, the Little Medicinal Kings were somewhat reluctant to let him go.

“We’re all friends here, take my old ginseng roots with you, oh, they’re too valuable, I can’t bear to part with them.”

“As for my old ginseng skin… it’s too painful, never mind. I don’t really have anything valuable here, so I’ll just bid you farewell verbally.” The ginseng doll bid farewell to Lu Yang.

It didn’t give anything when it bid farewell to Master Old Moon either.

“We’re all cultivators. A month isn’t a long time, so there’s no need to make a big deal about leaving, right?” The Three-Leafed Star Grass subtly expressed its reluctance through its words.

“My vine body and leaves possess too much vitality, if you take them, your body might mutate. It’s safer if I don’t give it to you.” In their time together, Lu Yang learned that the root of the Kirin Immortality Medicine was a green vine.

The Kirin Immortality Medicine was telling the truth, during this month of interaction, the Little Medicinal Kings suppressed their life force, fearing that Lu Yang would accidentally receive it.

If they were to give a part of their bodies to Lu Yang, they would inevitably have to apply dozens of seals. Lu Yang would be afraid to use it even if he received it.

“After saying goodbye, aren’t you going to give us some gifts?” The Time Termination Flower on the contrary, asked Lu Yang for a gift.

Lu Yang, moved by the atmosphere, his eyes brimming with hot tears: “After some time, I’ll definitely have Eldest Senior Sister come to visit everyone.”

The Little Medicinal Kings quickly kicked Lu Yang out.

The farewell scene was quite pressing.

Not comparing with the Medicine King Spirit Liquid, these three hundred contribution points were a huge sum for Lu Yang, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He was eager to try, to use them at the Task Hall to purchase some good stuff.

It couldn’t always be Eldest Senior Sister giving him things, he wanted to earn his own money through hard work.

“Alt, I was just saying I wanted to go to the Sky Gate Mountain to find you, but I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Meng Jingzhou was a little surprised to see Lu Yang coming out of the medicinal garden, but he quickly figured out that Yun Zhi was his beloved senior sister, so it was not surprising.

Next to Meng Jingzhou was a man in a scholar’s gown, a robust figure with a refined and elegant demeanor.

The scholar in the gown saluted: “Brother Lu, it’s been a while, it appears this is our first official meeting.”

“Man Gu, when you were chosen to be the disciple of Fourth Elder, it was beyond everyone’s expectations.”

After returning the salute, Lu Yang smiled, “Did you come here to find me for something?”

“Can’t I find you if I have nothing to do?” Meng Jingzhou feigned anger.

“Come, let’s have some tea and have a good chat.” Meng Jingzhou led Man Gu and Lu Yang to a tea house.

The Meng Family rule was to discuss matters preferably over a meal. That way, if the discussion went well, the Meng Family would treat, and if it didn’t, everyone would split the bill.

“Gentlemen, what would you like to drink? We have all types of tea here in our teahouse.” The waiter deftly asked.

Lu Yang also could not figure out the waiter’s cultivation level.

Lu Yang quietly asked, “Brother Man Gu, can you tell the waiter’s cultivation level?”

Man Gu quietly replied, “As far as I know, we new recruits are the weakest in the entire sect, even the chickens on the mountain have a higher cultivation level than us.”

Meng Jingzhou ordered a very famous tea. “Let’s have a pot of milk tea, please.”

The waiter suspected for a second that Meng Jingzhou was causing trouble on purpose.

“Oops, I misspoke, I meant a basin of milk tea, I remember it being a specialty of the far north.” Seeing the waiter’s displeased expression, Meng Jingzhou quickly gestured, signaling that he had no ill intentions.

Only then did the waiter understand that Meng Jingzhou wanted freshly-made salty milk tea.

In no time, the waiter brought a steaming iron coal basin, filled with fried rice, butter, beef jerky, and milk films, and soon thereafter a pot of milk tea.

Lu Yang and Man Gu looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to do, leaving it all to Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Jingzhou first slowly roasted the contents of the pot until the fried rice turned yellow, giving a crunchy feeling. Then, he poured all the milk tea from the pot into the basin with a ‘drip, drip, drip’ sound.

When the milk tea met the red-hot iron pot, there was a sizzling sound, and the fragrance of the milk tea spread out, lingering around the nostrils.

Lu Yang took a sip, smacked his lips, it was salty, the taste was very peculiar, but it was quite delicious.

Man Gu took a sip, then gulped down a whole bowl.

“Do you have any tasks right now?” Meng Jingzhou asked.

Lu Yang shook his head. He had just completed Uncle Ba’s medicinal garden task, and hadn’t found the next task yet.

“There aren’t many tasks suitable for us. The tasks in the Task Hall are not enough for us to complete. I find it strange, if they’re not enough for us, were they enough for the previous senior brothers and sisters?”

“So I asked the senior brothers and sisters about it and found out the inside story.”

“What did they say?”

“Not only completing the tasks posted in the Task Hall counts as completing a task, but if you find and complete a task yourself, you can also earn contribution points. You just have to report the results of the completed task to the sect, and after the sect verifies and ensures the results, they will give you a corresponding reward.”

“Do you know where the tasks in the Task Hall come from?”

“Where do they come from?”

“There are three possibilities. One is based on the ‘Righteous Mutual Aid Agreement’ between the Five Great Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty. The Great Xia Dynasty, for tasks involving the need for cultivators but lacking manpower, would ask for help from us. However, this rarely happens.”

“Although we all belong to the human race on the Righteous Path, the dignified Dynasty of a hundred thousand years asking for help from a sect is somewhat embarrassing.”

“The second is when someone asks the Five Great Immortal Sects for help, hoping that we could uphold justice for them. However, the premise is that the Great Xia Dynasty does not intervene, like your parrot-catching task.”

“The third is when our Seek Dao Sect finds clues during our travels outside. These are then posted as tasks in the Task Hall and the sect prepares corresponding rewards.”

“The third case is our hope.”
